Most people are familiar with the National Trust of Australia (W A) Guildford property Woodbridge but many are not aware that a commercial nursery and orchard functioned on the site for twenty years.
Rare horticultural ephemera discovered when researching the talk will be seen as well as contemporary illustrations of cultural practices of the time and the importance and presentation of fruit at the table.
